Milo Cheats On Nathan Hartono With A New Man – Oh, And It Also Released A New Flavour

Singaporeans, there’s a new Milo flavour in town, and this one, you’ll be able to drink as much as you like. …Okay, maybe we won’t go so far as to say that.

Nestlé is launching a new, sugar-reduced version of Singaporeans’ favourite Milo drink, and it will be called Milo Gao Siew Dai – exactly as you would order it in a coffee shop, although we’re not sure what your neighbourhood coffee shop uncle will feel about it.

Featuring a stronger Milo taste, with half the amount of sugar and 30% more protein, the new Milo Gao Siew Dai was born out of Nestlé’s overall global 2020 commitment to reduce the sugar in its products by 5%.

This also coincides with a rising prevalence of diabetes among Singaporeans, and with the Health Promotion Board’s (HPB) aim to reduce sugar intake among Singaporeans.

A New Flavour

Of course, 50% less sugar doesn’t just mean putting 50% less sugar into the new Milo formulation.

Balancing taste and health concerns is a delicate act, especially given Milo’s commitment to delivering a great tasting drink. Besides reducing sugar, other elements were tweaked to ensure that the Milo’s flavour was not compromised.

We had the opportunity to taste the new Milo Gao Siu Dai and here’s our verdict: It tastes like the Milo we all know and love, but less sweet. The drink is a lot lighter than the original Milo, so it may not be for everyone. Our tip? Drink it hot because we feel the flavour comes out stronger when drank that way.

A New Poster Boy

After a very public relationship with Nathan Hartono, it seems Milo Singapore will be seeing more of another man, namely Singapore’s golden boy, Joseph Schooling. The tall, dark and handsome Olympic Gold medallist has been appointed the latest ambassador for Milo Singapore.

The Joseph Schooling Effect: 6 Things That Will Never Be The Same

Unless you’ve been living under a really big rock, you know who Joseph Schooling is and what he did this weekend. To commemorate his big win, here are 6 new things that have caught ablaze since Schooling nabbed a Gold at the Rio Games.

1. ‘Schooled’

These 4 digits, will forever be etched in Singapore’s sporting history. Schooling not only nabbed the gold medal in the 100 meter butterfly in Rio (against Michael Phelps) with his timing of 50.39 seconds, he’s also the only Southeast Asian male swimmer to cinch a gold medal at the Olympics. Which is probably why, this set of numbers was
Sure Tinder has been around awhile now, but since Schooling got us our first Olympic gold, we’re seeing a new found interest in the dating app.

(If you haven’t read it, a college student basically matched up with Joseph Schooling on Tinder in April and unfortunately for her, stopped replying.)

And really who can blame us? You never which future Olympian/singer/actor/ you could be matched up with.

5. Dreams Do Come True

You’ve seen the meme, it’s pretty much everywhere right now. While we can definitely enjoy, pre-Rio Joseph Schooling, the underlying message radiates with us all, work hard and dream big. You never know, your childhood idol could be giving you

If you enjoy a quiet morning swim on the weekends, don’t bother. Swimming pools public and private are going to be choke-full of kids and their extra kan chiong parents cheering them on. Don’t be surprised if you see a jump in the number of swimming classes available and ads with the tagline “Be the Next Joseph Schooling”.
